Loss Farming is a form of Griefing

Let me set this straight right quick. I'm mostly stating that the griefing is coming in the forms of the 5-stacks and lower to maybe 3-stacks that these players are griefing their teammates by loss farming as these teammates intended on having a fun game of PvP, only to now be part of a team that is irritating to them. Griefing is described in the report window as "Griefing intentionally irritates other players, often using the game in unintended ways to do so." These people that are intentionally loss farming are queueing up with other players that are intending to play a fun game of PvP, only to now see other players, playing in an unintended way thereby causing irritation due to this behavior. this has more of an effect when its a 3-5 stack of players doing this and now their teammates are being affected and are feeling even more irritated cause now they're being "stomped" and their stack teammates are doing nothing to help cause they just want to lose and move on. Granted having people throw in a 6 stack is a bit easier on the community since its the opposing team, and they might think that it's not so bad, but when you have other people on the throwing team that was not there intentionally for that, that's when it becomes a problem. Let's look at the main reason why this is happening. It's because Bungie put a very nice-looking reward at the end of the second reset rank-up packages and it's something everyone wants (or I think that's the main reason). This is your leading cause of the loss farming. Having something everyone wants, and putting at the end of something by itself is hard to complete once. But doing it twice. Granted let's also think of this, THERE ARE 2 SEPARATE WEEKS TO DO THIS EVENT! What's the problem with that now? people want it now and most aren't willing to wait till the next Iron Banner to get it. Now for the final bit, should we be reporting these teams of loss farmers? Most would say yes, some would say no. The fact of the matter is, loss farming by itself can be either a form of win trading, or griefing. One, if not both, are bannable offenses and are reportable since they're an unintended way of playing the game, and for the 3-5 stacks that are doing it, are intentionally irritating the other player, i.e, their teammates. My vote says to hit them with the report hammer, and keep doing so to let Bungie know that this should not stand and needs to be dealt with. I'm sorry to those that are going to be on the receiving end of this but, you possibly should've just done this farm as a 6 stack to avoid griefing your peers.
